First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and completely helpful. The ride was fun and exciting and had great music. It was very enjoyable for the whole family we had ages ranging all the way from age 6 all the way up to 57. Will be definitely doing it again. You guys rock
Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing city.
Great Ride! Fantastic Gang Leader. No experience needed to ride the bikes. Very fun and informative. Would do it again!
This tour is a fun way to see Austin. Looks intimidating to ride but it is easy after a few minutes of practice in the parking lot. Our guide Patrick was super upbeat and fun touring us through the main parts of downtown Austin. He's extremely knowledgeable too. Would ride again and would definitely recommend!
This is just the best way to get a feel for the city! It was great fun picking our "biker names," gearing up for the ride, hopping on the bikes and establishing our presence on the roads of Austin! We had a blast!... "Rooster" was the best guide... very fun and funny, very knowledgeable about the city, and very attentive to make sure we were all comfortable and safe! If you're in Austin... Do this!
I'm local, so I'll be back. I took my (70something) mom on a 9 a.m. vaguely-themed YBG tour (they offer some that are focused on specific aspects of Austin -- this one was more the general one) because it was her birthday and we had guests coming in to town and she still hasn't been downtown much. I expected the usual high points, just on a bike, and that would have been cool. What I got was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (Patrick) who took us on a tour that was an awesome combination of the usual high points and some fascinating side trips. (Dude knows a lot about all kinds of minutae, including chicken and tattoos and local plants and Texas history -- it totally didn't surprise me that he was a teacher in a past life!) We went places that I didn't know existed and had a blast. So, two thumbs up. And I would think this tour would be fine for almost anyone -- I drove because my mom gets nervous, but we were on easily operated, well maintained bikes and took safe, medium-traffic routes, and she totally could've handled it as well. Our fellow tour takers varied from college students on Spring break to, well, my mom. So anyone would enjoy it. And it's a pretty good deal for 2ish hours of really good guidance. Do it -- you'll be glad you did. More
I spent 3 days in Austin and am sure that the Biker Gang Tour was the best activity I did there. It was super fun! Tyler was a great teacher and guide. Highly recommend!
Patrick was a fun and very enthusiastic tour guide. He took as much time as we wanted and was very informative. We had a lot of laughs
We had an absolute blast touring Austin with our tour guide Gator. The trip was fun and informative. We learned some cool things about Austin. We would highly recommend this experience.
This is hands down the best tour to take when visiting Austin! We had so much fun! It was like getting your first electric car toy when you were a kid at Christmas (Mine was a red Jeep) and now as an adult I got the same feeling with this fat tire electric bike! It was super easy to ride. We took the morning tour which started at 9 AM. Our tour guides Tyler and Cope were amazing! They showed us must see places in Austin and were really knowledgeable about the city. On our tour we saw The capital from afar, drove by the governors house, stopped at graffiti hills, showed us cool buildings and architecture downtown and some awesome art work and sculptures. Most importantly they did a great job keeping everyone safe and together. It’s not easy leading a pack of newbie electric bike riders around the streets of Austin Tx but they made it seem effortless. I highly recommend this and I plan to do this again every time I get near Austin! I really hope this business will open locations in other cities because I would go to them all!! Don’t forget to wear sunblock and sunglasses! And tennis shoes would probably be the best option for this activity.
